PORTABLE OFFICE CABIN HIRE IN IMMINGHAM, GRIMSBY OR CLEETHORPES FROM RENT-A-UNIT®

Laying in North East Lincolnshire the great port town of Grimsby & Cleethorpes which from the 12th century has been a fishing and trading port was once home to the world’s largest fishing fleet. Unfortunately, “the cod wars” where the UK was denied access to Icelandic fishing grounds put paid to this and Grimsby suffered a post-industrial decline. It has however reinvented itself and is now a major centre for Ports and Logistics. Grimsby is also the main centre in the UK for fish processing, also housing many food processing factories and extensive petrochemical and chemical storage facilities along the South Bank of the Humber Estuary.

During WW2 there were intentions of demolishing Grimsby Dock Tower structure as this acted as a beacon for German Luftwaffe aircraft heading towards Liverpool. The Royal Dock at Grimsby also housed the UK’s largest base for minesweepers patrolling the North Sea. In the early hours during the summer of 1943 the Luftwaffe released a new type of weapon over Grimsby & Cleethorpes. The Sprengbombe Dickwandig 2kg (SD2) was the very first type of anti-personnel cluster bomb intended to kill and maim humans as opposed to vehicles and buildings.
